Inigo Calderon Appointed Head Coach of Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers has appointed Iñigo Calderón as their new head coach on a two-and-a-half-year deal, following the dismissal of Matt Taylor. Calderón, who previously managed Brighton & Hove Albion's Under-18s and played for Brighton from 2010 to 2016, is stepping into his first senior managerial position. The club is currently 19th in League One, just three points above the relegation zone, and Calderón is expected to begin coaching the squad on December 29 after observing from the stands during their match against Exeter City. Director of football George Friend expressed excitement about Calderón's character and ambition to drive the team towards success. Alongside Calderón's arrival, former first-team coach Kevin Bond will also be returning to the club. The team faces a packed upcoming schedule, including critical league matches and an FA Cup tie against Ipswich Town.
